Ringmoor Down Cairn 3
Date Added: 18th Jun 2015
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 10th Mar 2015
Ringmoor Down Cairn 3 submitted by SandyG on 10th Mar 2015. Very few if any of the stones are earthfast and there is no visible trace of a mound. An absence of surface stone in the vicinity means that it is unlikely to be the work of recent visitors. Kerbs around some cairns seem to have been formed by placing stones on the original land surface and therefore the wobbly nature of these stones should not in itself detract from a prehistoric interpretation (5th April 2013).

Sharpitor NE submitted by SandyG on 27th Jul 2015. On foggy Dartmoor days the archaeology can somehow seem bigger. Cairn below the the stone row has clearly been the target of early explorers. (23rd March 2013).

Shovel Down Fourfold Circle submitted by SandyG on 29th Jul 2015. The elaborate cairn at the upper end of Row 2. Many cairns at the end of rows are simple unassuming structures but this one does not fall into that category. (28th April 2013).
